  • I know what you mean, just beware: in lots of cases it’s not as universal (as in distro-independent) as some still think it is.

    For people who want to get things done with their PC that isn’t inherently IT-related (like, doing office work or music production or anything else) and just need to do the occasional light sysadmin thing like setting up new drives to be auto-mounted somewhere, pointing to GUI tools is just so much better. And in many cases it is also safer (making your system fail on boot with a small typo in the fstab is painfully easy).





  • Of course not, /e/OS itself isn’t optimally safe either (they aim for maximum compatibility, so most phones can’t even relock the bootloader). But it’s way, WAY better than a completely unpatched phone from years ago. Not to mention /e/OS gets rid of all the Google spyware in a user-friendly way, and the newer Android makes sure you don’t run into compatibility issues.
